World 5: Real-World Claude Workflows

Goal: Use Claude for practical work while staying thoughtful.

Lesson

A useful Claude workflow has four steps:

1. Give a clear prompt.
2. Read the answer.
3. Ask one follow-up to improve it.
4. Review before using it.

Good beginner tasks:

• Draft an email.
• Summarize meeting notes.
• Create a checklist.
• Compare two options.
• Make a study plan.
• Practice interview questions.

Example

First prompt:

Draft a short email to a customer saying we received their request and will follow up soon.

Follow-up:

Make it warmer, keep it under 90 words, and remove any promise about exact timing.
